For me as an ardent practicing and devout etymologist I exhaust myself on studying words in multiple languages to get real meaning and intention as it adds efficacy to my argument as our education has dumbed down deeper meanings of the words. I have a young lady in my church and we would just discuss her Spanish vocabulary, verb conjugation, and it was fun for me. For example “when” is “cuando;” “you tell” is “cuentas;” “how many” is “cuantos;” “you count” is “cuenta;” “sto

I watch this a ton. I always follow money, ego, control, and power in both government and church. I often see big churches doing “youth mission trips” overseas and little is accomplished. Air fare, lodging, etc., and have always wondered why we don’t just send that amount of money to the missionary in that location to pay the locals to do the work. It is cumbersome on the local ministry to host and at times done outside of coordination with host nation support and securit

I have seen this up close and personal with people who I love dearly. Its ugly and the long term effects on the psyche of a moral woman are INTENSE. Of course, I counsel from the male perspective and always think that a man should have a vote since half of the double-helix is proprietary genetic strand that actually belongs to the male. Something we don’t really talk about because the feministic babe-killers have somehow silenced any male opinion.

My father and I would discuss this and other Biblical and theological dilemmas often—and I am deeply grateful for that initiation into the Scripture. But this concept of “eternal security” always plagued me as I felt something different in my spirit, heart, and gut through multiple teachers and pastors who provided skewed instruction from the pulpit. So, I wanted to analyze the words from our Sacred Text to best analyze how complete we are in our salvation. I found that in

A simple question. I guess if we are using identity politics, I am a Christian, meaning I follow the laws of God, teachings of Jesus and lessons of the Scripture. I am an American as I was born here, obey the laws, love the Constitutional foundations. I am Caucasian—pigment doesn’t mean so much to me as I can get plenty dark in the summer and would be considered “Black Irish” in my heritage. I am a man as I was biologically born this way and am thankful. My wife (woman),

My wife is the smartest woman on the planet and when she asks me a tough question, I already know she has the answer and why I am so studious and dedicated to my vocation of knowledge, philosophy, theology, and literature, just so I can’t be defeated on the field of battle of her choosing. So, she was a psych major in her undergrad, but thankfully she intellectually matured to an MBA that she graduated with a 4.0 to my 3.95 and I rarely hear the end of that. So, GAME ON FIN

In our great Constitutional Republic we are at a multi-way stop sign where everyone is looking at each other. We end up looking at one another trying to reconcile narratives of the “lesser evil,” “right of way,” “I was here first,” or “my truck is bigger than yours.” We have DSA on the left, Islam right in front of us, progressive liberals pulling their cars across the walking aisle, and us conservative Christians and farcical almost-Christians watching it all happen and th

Boy, I do this all of the time. I am rest-assured in my faith that I don’t think the devil can ever destroy or attack me but meanwhile I don’t have the introspection sometimes to look at myself—it gets ugly when I do. Did I fall to peer pressure, society, my reading, my social media prompts, what? Constantly I pray to God to fix the mess never realizing, now get this on the sincerity, of my most fervent prayers, that my prayers are just to cover up the choices or mistakes

“In God we trust” is on our money, but can we really say that about those who we give it to? Let’s look at the evidence. American Christian evangelicalism has been conditioned to stay in a church where they are not being fed the meat of Scripture, much like an abused wife, they just stay because they don’t think they have an out. They are seeking the emotional high instead of a deeply planted taproot for strength and stability in the storm. We see the political and religi

At what point did this become an issue where Christian men or any men for that matter are not more actively involved? Is not the double helix and genetic code proprietary to men? Then why have the feminists left us out of the entire debate? I believe this immoral, criminal, and absolutely sinful. There are countless men who pay in divorce court for children they don’t even see and women who reap the harvest of their hard work

This is a serious agenda item for the progressive left, but I would contend it is more for the benefit of Islam. Muhamed was a warfighter, fighting in 66 battles and/or raids, he would raid caravans and then went to the Mediterranean to attack ships. He would raid the coast of Spain, Italy, and France and take slaves into North Africa. His movement enslaved over one million Europeans, so such a degree that the Catholic church had a conclave in the Trinitarians that were re

Recently I went back and forth with a slow person, retarded in her thought process about taking Scripture out of context. This just fuels me in my study. I have other acquaintances who have told me I may be too abrupt, but quite frankly, I just don’t have the patience for stupidity as everyone has a choice to learn and grow. Doing a little research today with a dear friend and Biblical scholar and he tipped me off on something that threw me in the rabbit hole of intellectu

I had the great pleasure of being Justice Scalia’s escort for events twice in my life and each time I realized just how absolutely stupid I was and knew rapidly to shut up and listen to his Constitutional wisdom. Each time I met with him I vowed to read more, investigate more, and his words and knowledge translated on to Justice Thomas. Legally, and as an American, their words and interpretations are as precise for me as a Christian and the Scripture. You simply can’t tak

Joseph, Paul, Peter, John, Daniel, & Jesus These are the most dangerous men you could ever meet…be such a man. All of these men healed alone. Not violent or angry. Be like these men who rebuilt their lives without fanfare or applause. Be like these men who faced truths that most cowards avoid. Many times we lose what we think most defines us, but we who are “shtoykee moozheek” or a stand up guy, we simply get up when knocked down. This is a lesson that many never learn.

Sadly, thanks to progressive liberalism in our churches and public (and even private) education, we no longer recognize or acknowledge our own Christian or American history. For some reason we now believe that we should be ashamed of our freedoms and rarely can philosophically put who and what we are into context. Simply put, I am Christian, I am also an American, through and through and would gladly give my life for the defense of each.

This is fun for me. I’m a nerd and IMMENSELY proud of it. There is NO way I would stand before my church on a Sunday without being armed with every piece of evidence I have to support the cause of Jesus and PURE Christianity. So, let’s have some intellectual historical fun to make you think and what you won’t get from your lazy clergy on a Sunday when they repeat the same stuff on love and tolerance. Here we go. Obviously, Jesus preached a new and dangerous message to the

On this historic day of mourning for my Jewish and Israeli Defense Force brothers, I want to be VERY clear…Israel and Judaism are one and the same for me. It goes back to God’s promise and not some lines drawn in the sand post negotiations in Paris 1919. It is a fact, unmovable, unshakeable, non-negotiable, and firmly intact in my faith as a Christian. So, today, I mourn with them after the violent events by the animals of Hamas and the greater Islamic conquest for a globa

I have seen a refined shift in the church, both Catholic and Protestant over the last couple of decades where we the church, have killed God, Jesus is re-crucified repeatedly, and all done by the clergy behind the once revered pulpit and the unintended idiots who blindly follow. My study for this thesis is called religious ponerology. Please allow me to define the word “ponerology” for you as it is the interdisciplinary or theological study of evil, examining its nature, or

I wish to alter the perception of tithing in every church I have attended around the world. There is a petition from the pulpit, there is special music, and it is done in a public display in front of the entire church. There are some churches even here in my hometown that find out where someone works, how much they make, and send a deacon or elder to approach the person in regard to how much they owe to God, using a guilt methodology. All interesting to me as I always do m

Boy, sure hear this one from within the church as well as society picking and choosing their only Scripture that they know—along with “don’t judge”—and all taken out of context. Our entire society is immersed with tolerance and suicidal empathy. But what did Jesus actually mean in His wording, the historical context of the day, and the audience? We in our arrogant ignorance have flattened this statement into a refrigerator magnet at your grandma’s house. “Be nice,” or “b
